Vive

The story of a young woman, a modern heroine, reclaiming her tragic childhood.

Anaïs Lacascade, a young chef from the world of Michelin-starred gastronomy, denounces the incest committed by her father between the ages of 7 and 14. The Michelin stars shining on the front of the restaurant look good... but the reality of her dysfunctional family is about to be exposed.

Through personal accounts and flashbacks, we enter the intimate world of this family, where passion for cooking and domination merge. In this immersive play-trial, part of the audience will be seated around the performance space to witness the verbal jousting between the family entourage and the representatives of the law. With accuracy and hope, VIVE delivers the resilience of this fighter, who speaks out to denounce, who overcomes the unspoken to confront, who puts words to regain control of her own history. A poignant, subtle and necessary show on a major social issue.
